In 1930, the family lived at 1910 Myrtle Avenue and in 1940 (and for at least five years before that) they resided at 175 Ocean Parkway.

I have not been able to locate much information about Ruth. Except for the surname Mason, I do not know her husband's name or that of her offspring. Public records indicate she lived in Sunnyside, Queens for many years and ultimately resided in Long Island City, Queens.[update: Thanks to Lara Diamond (see comment, below), I now have her obituary from the NY Times. Ruth did marry, apparently, but her husband is not named. This may be due to divorce. She did have a daughter who survived her.]

She died at the age of 88 and is buried in the First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Associaton plot in Montefiore Cemetery, block 5, gate 567W, line 6R, grave 2, next to her brother Sidney Rubin and near her parents.

Ruth was my aunt, my mothers sister. She was married twice. Her first husbands name was Mason Mason.(Oh yes it was!) Her daughter is Cara Mason Epstein, married to Don Epstein from New York. She has twin sons named Morgan and Jacob.
